[Essay about lacrymal proteins during sicca syndromes (author's transl)]

Most of sicca syndromes are expressed in a modification of specifically lacrimal proteins. These modifications are involving:--perturbations in tears-electrophoresis, residing in a more or less important decrease of one or several lacrimal proteins,--a frequent sinking in rate of total lacrimal proteins,--a slump of antimicrobial property in tears. The electrophoretic modifications could serve for base to biological classification of sicca syndromes.
